Thanks! I went to the doc today and Shea setting me up with a dietician to help with food choices an portions!! I'm just nervous waiting on my blood work results to come back!!
Good plan!! Stick to it! You'll do fine! Enjoy your girls!
Im going to start getting some exercise in with my girls to make us all more healthier!! My goal is at least 15 mins 3x a week this week then bump it up week after week!! Im also going to try and get in to the gym before I have to get my girls from daycare! I need cardio to help get some of this weight off!! Thanks for you advice, help and responses!!! I REALLY appreciate it :)
Hey! I went for a walk tonight after supper! Only 15 minutes - but it's a start. My snack was a bunch of raddishes instead of chips and salsa. And this morning I had plain oatmeal with cinnamon. It was great! Thanks for the inspiration mbsc! I'm on my way! Franceslee, take your girls for a walk! I'm sure they'll enjoy it too. Stop to look at the flowers, the grass, the sky, the trees and take pictures if you have a camera. Enjoy their company and their chatter. (Wish I could do that again - my girls are grown up). Have fun!
Congratulations on getting where you are! It's hard to believe that even the "good-looking" and "beautiful" people suffer from low self esteem and self-worth. Society has deemed it necessary to be perfect and we just can't meet that standard. I prefer to meet God's standards of being good, generous and kind. Easier to meet those standards!! - It's been great "talking" to you mbsc and i wish you all the best!
I have Vitiligo which is a lousy skin disorder. I have ugly white blotches all over my skin and i don't dare go outside without my make up or someone might see what I really look like! I am also too fat for my little body as I am very short (1 inch too tall to be a midget). My legs are knock-kneed and I have a poochy stomach. But my friends tell me I'm beautiful. I hang on to that - because there are times that I feel unworthy too. I have suffered from depression on and off all my life because I was abused by an uncle. - Well, that was then, and this is now. Now I am a confident little old lady with white hair and am very loved and wanted. - Don't wait until you're old to feel this way! You have daughters who look up to you! Show them the good side of Mommy! And it's wonderful that you have a full-time job! You are so worthy! Value yourself and count your blessings! Do you have beautiful eyes? Play them up - no not with a lot of make up - just enough. Do you have pretty hair? Keep it nice. - Have you ever watched Drop Dead Diva? That star is overweight and just beautiful and delightful! We can strive to be like her - and then get thinner. But we don't need to look like Twiggy - we just want to be healthy. - Now I'm inspiring myself!! LOL
